“Eighty-something characters on you?” Jin Yuanxun looked puzzled as he looked at Chen Junnan.
“What do you mean?” Chen Junnan said热情ly. “Want one of mine?”
Translating this into English while maintaining the tone and completeness:
“What do you mean?” Chen Junnan said enthusiastically. “Would you like one of mine?”
“Give me… one?” Jin Yuanxun muttered. Something felt off.
“Exactly!” Chen Junnan said. “You came empty-handed, so I can’t let you leave empty-handed. Come on, come take one from me!”
As he stepped forward, Jin Yuanxun instinctively stepped back.
“Don’t be shy!” Chen Junnan said. “It’s for the kids!”
Jin Yuanxun felt himself getting drawn into Chen Junnan’s rhythm and quickly changed the subject. “Wait! How could you possibly have so many characters? We only have fourteen total between both sides!”
“Mine reproduce,” Chen Junnan said. “I’m embarrassed to admit, but these ‘characters’ multiplied on their own while we were talking.”
Jin Yuanxun calmed himself and quickly sensed something suspicious. Even if Chen Junnan didn’t have dozens of characters, he definitely had six or seven.
If he really carried all the characters from their entire team…
How could he stand so openly at the “Chu River Han Boundary”?
“There’s a trap…” Jin Yuanxun narrowed his eyes. “Hey… you…”
Seeing Jin Yuanxun hesitate, Chen Junnan didn’t give him time to speak. He simply stepped back into the room and waved at him over his shoulder. “Xiao Jin! Come in and play!”
“Come in… and play…?”
“Don’t be shy!” Chen Junnan grinned. “You’re already at my doorstep. What’s wrong with coming in for a meal? We’re not strangers!”
Jin Yuanxun took a couple of steps forward and looked at the room behind Chen Junnan. There stood a door marked with the character “zi”, but at first glance, there seemed to be nothing else inside.
But what was this sudden enthusiasm from Chen Junnan…?
“Come on! At least come in and sit for a while!” Chen Junnan kept gesturing enticingly at Jin Yuanxun, giving him goosebumps.
“Yasiba…” Jin Yuanxun muttered in Korean.
Jin Yuanxun truly couldn’t figure out what Chen Junnan was planning, but following him into the room at this moment would very likely lead him into a trap.
Although the “Referee” had said that having two people enter the room would force the game to start, what if the room was hiding many of Chen Junnan’s allies?
If more than two people entered the room, would the game still start?
The only possible outcome Jin Yuanxun could imagine was being pinned to the ground by a group of people, having his “Echo” completely neutralized, and losing all his characters.
Thinking of this, Jin Yuanxun could only be cautious, after all, no one wanted to be the first to lose their characters.
“Hey! You come out!” Jin Yuanxun shouted. “Have the guts to come out and talk to me!”
“I’m not going out, it’s cold outside.” Chen Junnan waved his hand. “Are you coming in? If not, I’m closing the door.”
“Closing… the door?”
Jin Yuanxun couldn’t understand Chen Junnan’s actions at all. He hesitated in place, watching helplessly as Chen Junnan, with a smug expression, closed the door and remained motionless.
He had met Chen Junnan a few times and understood him to some extent. If Chen Junnan’s words were trustworthy, then TV shopping slogans would be reliable too.
Soon after, Xu Liunian walked up from behind Jin Yuanxun. Seeing Jin Yuanxun standing dazedly at the “Chu River Han Boundary,” she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Liunian asked. “Why do you look so shocked? Did you see something?”
“Ya!” Jin Yuanxun, struggling with his broken Chinese, pointed at the rightmost door in front of him and said, “Sis! Just now there was someone!”
“Who?”
“Sis!” Jin Yuanxun looked as if he had seen a savior. “Ya! Just now I saw Chen Junnan… he had all the ‘characters’ on him like that!”
“All the ‘characters’ on him? You mean he carried them all by himself…?” Xu Liunian helplessly shook her head. “Xiao Jin, your Chinese isn’t very good. Maybe you misunderstood the rules. Dinosaur mentioned earlier that one person can’t carry multiple…”
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly froze.
Wait, was that rule actually mentioned in the game?
The rules had only stated that those without characters should go to the “Preparation Area” to wait until they obtained characters before continuing. There had been no mention of whether one person could carry multiple characters.
In that case, would the opponent dare to be so bold…?
All their team members had removed their characters and stayed in the “Preparation Area,” while only Chen Junnan had brought all the characters and charged forward alone…
“That’s absurd,” Xu Liunian said. “How could there be such a strategy? Even if it were Qixia’s plan, it would still be ridiculous.”
The next second, the central door in front of Xu Liunian creaked open, and Chen Junnan’s head popped out.
“Hey, Big Sister Xu came too,” Chen Junnan said. “Want to come in and play? My room looks like it has good feng shui, specially designed to improve ‘bad luck’.”
He then fully opened the door, revealing the seemingly empty room.
“Bad luck… you…” Xu Liunian frowned, looked down at Chen Junnan’s pants, and found, as Jin Yuanxun had said, that his pockets were bulging, with chains even sticking out. She counted at least five or six.
But like Jin Yuanxun, Xu Liunian was cautious and dared not rashly follow Chen Junnan into the room.
If Chen Junnan’s words were trustworthy, then the small ads on telephone poles would be reliable too.
“Hey!” Jin Yuanxun pointed at the rightmost door in front of him and said, “Weren’t you there just now… why are you in the middle now…?”
“Because my ‘Echo’ is fucking ‘Wall Penetration’!” Chen Junnan said. “Want to come in and sit for a bit? Let me show you what ‘Wall Penetration’ looks like.”
Neither Xu Liunian nor Jin Yuanxun responded after hearing this.
“What’s going on?” Chen Junnan asked, puzzled. “Why are you two so polite? It’s really just me alone in here.”
Xu Liunian thought for a few seconds and decided to probe his strength, so she stood outside the door and asked, “Chen Junnan, why do you have so many ‘characters’?”
“I can’t say now,” Chen Junnan smiled. “I have to wait until Dr. Zhao arrives to explain.”
“Dr. Zhao…?”
Due to the commotion they had caused, members from Chu Tianqiu’s side gradually gathered at the “Chu River Han Boundary.”
When everyone arrived, Chen Junnan looked at the six people before him and smiled contentedly.
This was “Full Psychological Assault.”
“What’s going on…?” Wen Qiaoyun also asked curiously. “Who is this person?”
“Dr. Zhao, are you okay?” Chen Junnan asked.
“Me…?” Dr. Zhao was taken aback. “What do you mean ‘Are you okay?'”
“Nothing,” Chen Junnan shook his head. “Old Qi asked me to let you know, the plan has begun.”
